Scientist IJob Summary:
The staff scientist will carry out independent research likely have multiple projects in collaboration with other lab members and help the laboratory develop new research directions. They will also help the PI with writing grants and papers mentor junior researchers in the laboratory and in the long run provide continuity as trainees come and go. Science in the Gaglia lab: Our goal is to link the molecular events during viral infection and the molecular function of viral proteins to modulation of viral disease severity. We are fascinated by how viruses rely on a small number of proteins to redirect host pathways and cause large changes in the physiology of cells and organisms. We are particularly interested in how virus-cell interactions modulate anti-viral innate immune responses as innate immune responses have a crucial and dualistic role on outcome of infection. They can act as a barrier for the virus reducing viral replication and disease. However they can also become pathogenic especially if they are hyperactivated or misdirected. We work on these molecular puzzles using a range of molecular and cellular biology techniques and are now moving into animal studies.
